Mystery Meat Came Good!!!

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

The House of Chops Cafeterium covers a variety of foods from salads of random types and pre packaged and made onsite from scratch to salad rolls. It also offers 5 or so hot selections and a hot soup of the day. All for under 4 bucks. It is not strictly all you can eat but if you are one Chops and have the style and adorableness of Chops you can always get more.

Some rules apply. The roast of the day is always a fall back plan. Don’t attempt to guess what the casserole is as it may scare you greatly. Like the time I said I will have some chicken and was told it was indeed Lamb. Today I asked what the beige casserole with olives was. The canteen lady told me it was nice. I was a little scared but had some because of the olives. I found out later from BRC that the mystery meat was not Lamb as I thought but was indeed goat. I had consumed Goat curry. I have a had a little history previously with Goat Curry.

Police State I wish to report it was nice but was not all that much different to Lamb in flavour and texture. Gentle Reader a few years ago the Police State shared accomodations with 24 Carat Gold (not her real name) and she was of Indian extraction. Police State loves spicy and exotic and 24 Carat Gold always said that Goat made the best curry. We then drove down town to get us some Goat meat. One Butcher looked at us like we tried to order Human Young for our curry. So it was not till today that my mission was completed. Funnily enough I did not even realise that I had completed the mission.

Till Next Time Eat More Goat,

Meeting Place

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

To the person who left the comment in relation to one of our Bridesmaids. We indeed do think you have found who you are looking for. If you hit one of the email links on that website like on the gift registry we can get your contact details and pass them on to whom you are looking for.

A funny thing happened in relation to our bridal party and our groomal party. One from each side actually knew each other from their Uni days. But these two never turned up to the same pre wedding activities like the engagement party, so they did not find out this fact till the wedding day. To make it even funnier one recognised the other but the other did not recognise the other one. So when chicken boy said “oh hello” Air Rifle replied with “yeah hi” in a slightly weird tone. It was not till a little bit after that Air Rifle clicked as to who Chicken Boy was. And a wonderful time was had by all after that.

giutinous rice dumpling

pictures of 3 what i am guessing are glutinous rice dumplings

make glutinous rice dumplings in the dragon boat festival

I just have one question. I assume it would be hard to make glutinous rce dumplings or any rice dumplings for that matter. But wouldn’t it be even harder while trying to be a part of a dragon boat festival.

Till Next Time Where Do You Make Your Glutinous Rice Dumplings,

Rubber Ball

small hands play ball.

I do wish to make funny jokes in particular about the country where the chart comes from. But seeing I am getting hits from there I don’t want to say something nasty and be not available to those who read my blog there. I could be there only glimpse into the western world. We couldn’t take that away could we??

Rest Assured

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I just wish to make a statement here that whilst I may have worn ladies slacks on one day. It was not by choice and at the time I did not realise that I was actually wearing the ladies slacks. But as Nefertiki say I did walk a day in ladies pants. I don’t think I will match it with ladies shoes. It also did not make me more in touch with my feminine side.

Till Next Time I am Still A Blokey Bloke Honestly,

Surprisingly Comfortable

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

I was rushing in to start my duties at the House of Chops and had laundered my pants the day before and needed new trousers. As gross as it sounds we don’t get given new pants every day and are very strongly encouraged to get at least two days out of our dacks.

I was rushing through and asked for my regular size. The lovely Dave (not her real name) whom I have known when she started when I did and she was only 16 gave me my pants. I went and got changed. These strides seems different to my regulars. They had smaller pockets, they only had one button on the front, the zipper appeared to do up from the other side and I had more room around the hips and buttocks area.

This all had me strangely perplexed and thinking have they given me girls pants? I was so busy that I never got the chance till 6 hours later when I went to the little Chops room and saw on the tag that these were size 16’s and I am normally a 7r (not sure what system our sizing works on). On one of my journey’s in the building I happened to walk past the uniform room and asked the Candle Stick Maker (not her real name) if these indeed were girl’s pants.

She said “oh my goodness they indeed are”. She then offered to swap and I said well they are not that uncomfortable and I will just swap them at the end of the day which is only an hour and a half away.

Hurrah For Literacy Part I

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Whilst in the wilds of the South Pacific Mrs Lovely One and I went to the Post Office (it was air conditioned ok). Whilst exploring the Post Office they have all the school supplies one would need. They have text books and work books. They also stock Literacy Charts. We bought one as it was so brilliant. I will share with you some entries from it over the next few weeks or so. Like all good literacy charts t has the name of the thing and then a picture and then a nice sentence.

Here is today’s fine journey into literacy:

Hamburger i eat hamburger in lunch. I wish to add that all spelling mistakes and other errors are not that of Chop’s fat fingers but as the chart as it. And as they say if it is on a chart it must be right.

Till Next Chart Good Is,

Two More!!

Monday, April 17th, 2006

While Praising God in the previous blog there are two more additions I now wish to make.

* My friend K-Sue is coming down here in August from the US of A and the Abode of Chops is the official accomodation provider during her week long stay. So it will be a grand time of catching up. Mrs Lovely One and K-Sue have met but this was before Mrs Lovely One realised I had feelings for her. But K-Sue scoped her out and gave her seal of approval.

* I have a job which actually is my own job. I am now a permament. Whilst it means more hours it also means mre money and better conditions such as holiday pay and things like that. So that is a handy addition to things as we start life together.

Till Next Time I Think I Am Done Now,
